Background color if value equals...

Hi! I am very new to Qlik. I have an expression saying if the column has value "N" turn background red.

=if([Column] = 'N',red(230))

I would also like to add in an expression so I can turn values with a "Y" to a Green background.

How would I add this into my expression?

=if([Column] = 'N',red(230),if([Column] = 'Y',Green(100)))

If course nested IFS are frowned upon, so there might be a better way to do this.

I will say that it is better for performance to try and do this work in the script when you can or even create a master item where you select colors for the Dimension Values, but this should work. I normally go to the master item route, unless it is a different column I need to assign a color to.
